Short Description
In this manual, the authors compare the range of applications for phosgene with that of the alternative compounds. The result is a mine of information for synthetic chemists working in industry and academia, dealing with the question of where the toxic phosgene may be replaced by an unproblematic compound - including the safety phosgenation.

In this manual, the authors compare the range of applications for phosgene with that of the alternative compounds, dealing in detail with the possible uses of diphosgene, triphosgene, carbon dioxide, organic carbonates, oxalylchloride and many other alternative materials used in synthesis. However, they clearly point out those cases where phosgene continues to have the advantage. The result is a mine of information for synthetic chemists working in industry and academia faced with the question of where the toxic phosgene can be replaced by an unproblematic compound - including the safety phosgenation.
